6.5 Adjusting the Tilt Limiter

The adjustable seat angle can be limited if needed. With the tilt limiter installed, the maximum possible seat angle
is 45°.
1) Firmly screw the tilt limiter in place in the hole channel, 5° above the desired maximum angle (see fig. 10,
example for maximum tilt angle = 27.5°).
2) Carry out a function test. After reaching the maximum angle (the tilt limiter hits the locking plate guide), tilt the
seat back sightly so that the locking pins engage properly (see fig. 11).
CAUTION! Listen for the sound it makes when it engages. If necessary, move the push handles or
push bar up and down slightly in order to align the locking mechanism so that the locking pins on
both sides can engage in the bore holes exactly.
